Art Direction: Wave… WAVE!?! Well there you go my boy we have our answer right there. Lets put a huge wave on their with a lighthouse and a helicopter to try and show some size perspective. I’m sure it will be all fine. And it’s day time so lens flare the hell out of that lighthouse. They run during the day right?

Well, you can’t say they weren’t literal. Tubular! :waves:

I feel like there should be a new category, Airbrush Abuse (although to be fair this looks more like Photoshop Abuse), when a cover is painted in a particular style not because it enhances the meaning but because they *can*.

Subtle it is not. But I like the way the title is reflected in the water.

The cover designer was just annoyed because he couldn’t find any place for a nice floating head.

Anyone have a link to the cover of the sequel: PARTICLE, in which a bunch of physicists get buried in a tunnel collapse in a research lab somewhere along the French-Swiss border, while an experiment with a massive particle collider gone awry threatens to swallow the earth whole?

I don’t mind the artwork.
But the copy… argh.
- “A tiny town, at the mercy of the sea…”
Also used for the movie poster THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN.
- “First Time In Paperback”
And in 2010, this means…. what, exactly?
Try that tired, shopworn cliche on other fields:
CARS: “First Time On The Road!”
TELEVISION: “First Time On TV!”
CLOTHING: “First Time On A Body!”
INTERNET: “First Time Online!”
